Posted February 1, 2014 I'll get it but won't be taking part in the league unless Nintendo get with the rest of the industry and allow me to talk to people who I'm playing, meaning you guys. That makes no sense, to get the game but not join the League? If you want to punish Nintendo don't get the game. Don't punish us by denying us your presence online cause of Nintendo's failings.... ...or is it maybe cause you don't actually like us anymore We all know that aint going to happen, so yeah... look what you've done. All them hours carrying you in Monster Hunter and this is how you repay me. @Mokong, we aint carrying this guy no more! He can get his own Monster Burgers at the sandship sail-tru next time!

Posted February 1, 2014 The banter between you Monster Hunter boys... Anyway, come on guys, you should believe in Nintendo! Maybe we'll get some fleshed out online multiplayer experiences in MK8 & SSB! Yes. I can picture it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 2, 2014 No one who doesn't know what a wii u is a gamer in anyway other than in passing...Just doesn't compute with me. I'd be gobsmacked (though would I really) if Mario Kart didn't have voice chat. Surely Nintendo aren't that retarded! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 2, 2014 Consisting Nintendo's fear of ever offending five year olds I doubt it will be included. What's the first word that comes to mind when someone fires a blue shell? Nintendo won't want that. Several words, actually. Something along the lines of 'Damn, that's a really good weapon and game mechanic and I hope they keep it in.'

Nintendo won't want that. Surely those same arguments could be made against its use in Pokémon, but with critical hits over blue shells Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2014 I've heard a far greater string of obscenities during MK than Pokémon. The latter is slower in nature and yeah, you may curse, but the former is so fluid and your position can change so rapidly that cursing cascades out. Plus everyone calls Daisy a slut.

Posted February 2, 2014 I would just like to point out that I have no issue with the blue shell, it was more just an example of something that triggers words on the Nintendon't list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2014 Although it should return to MK64 Blue Shell, which actually helped the player that used it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2014 I smashed my 3DS screen whilst playing in the MK League by headbutting it. Voice chat would be hilarious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2014 Although it should return to MK64 Blue Shell, which actually helped the player that used it. I always liked the 64 one too(it ran on the ground, right? hitting other people on the way?) - the only taking out first place isn't quite as fun; though the explosion that catches kinda makes up for it a bit. I do love the fear/feeling blue shells instill though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2014 I would just like to point out that I have no issue with the blue shell, it was more just an example of something that triggers words on the Nintendon't list. Considering NINTENDO, they are probably not aware of this. When the good people of the Mario Kart team play with eachother or with their families there are smiles all around I always liked the 64 one too(it ran on the ground, right? hitting other people on the way?) - the only taking out first place isn't quite as fun; though the explosion that catches kinda makes up for it a bit. I do love the fear/feeling blue shells instill though! Although it should return to MK64 Blue Shell, which actually helped the player that used it. Uhm, newsflash, Mario Kart 7's Blue Shell returned to this style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2014 You know what I loved about Double Dash? The fact that you could dodge all types of shells. It was the same in Super Circuit; hitting top speed meant that red shell's would trail you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2014 I would love to see red and green shells go back to Super Mario Kart speed. Oh and bring back the feather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2014 I'd prefer them to get rid of the blueshell My problem with that is that the guy at the front can hold a banana/shell behind him and be pretty ubstoppable so long as he doesn't screw up. People around 3rd/4th can get hit by all sorts like three red shells, bombs, even a bullet bill. I think sometimes it can be really pure luck depending on who gets the 'last' blue shell of the race, but at the same time not having it could be pretty damaging.

Posted February 3, 2014 Every time there's a new Mario Kart, there's always calls for Nintendo to get rid of, or at least change, the blue shell and also to bring back the feather from Super Mario Kart. With they themselves suggesting previously that they've already 'perfected' the Mario Kart formula, it's as if they're completely oblivious to the persistant complaints When the blue shell was first introduced to Mario Kart 64, it felt awesome! The sound of it whizzing around the track and closing in was frightening, not knowing whether you were going to get in the way of its path or not, whatever position you were in. I also loved in that game being able to watch your friends approaching jumps, such as the one in Wario Stadium, and timing your lightning bolt strike so that they would fall down and have to do a large section of the track again. All these sorts of elements have been subdued over the years and it's why the N64 version remains my favourite of the series! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2014 Yep Mario Kart should just adopt the Smash approach of more weapons, but being able to fully customise multiplayer weapons, it's just stupid not to give the option out of choice alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be gobsmacked (though would I really) if Mario Kart didn't have voice chat. Surely Nintendo aren't that retarded! voicechat ain't happening... period. There is a small part of me that thinks, possibly it could happen in party room, but hell will freeze over before Nintendo allow the kind of expletive filled, rage fueled outbursts that only MK can induce onto the general unsupecting public.
